EVIL ENERGY 12AN 90° Push-Lock to 3/4" Barb Hose Fitting — 2-Pack Black Aluminium, 1500 PSI

EVIL ENERGY's 2-piece 12AN 90-degree push-lock to 3/4" barb fitting is a compact aluminum hose connector designed for rubber fuel lines where a tight, low-profile 90° transition and durable corrosion-resistant construction are required.

Built from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black, this two-pack of angled adapters converts a 12AN threaded inlet (1-1/16-12 UNF) into a 3/4" barb for push-on rubber hoses. The fittings are rated for a maximum working pressure of 1,500 PSI and operate across a wide temperature band from -40°F to 248°F, offering reliability for automotive and motorsport fuel plumbing, return lines, or similar fluid-transfer tasks where push-lock barb connections are preferred.

How does this fitting connect to my existing AN plumbing?

The 12AN male thread uses a 1-1/16-12 UNF size to mate with standard AN female fittings or hose ends. The opposite end features a 3/4" barb sized for flexible rubber fuel hose, allowing a push-on connection that seals with the hose elasticity plus optional clamps for extra security.

• Thread: 12AN (1-1/16-12 UNF) male for standard AN connections.
• Barb: 3/4" insert sized for rubber fuel tubing.
• Seal guidance: use hose clamps for reinforced leak protection.

Is this durable enough for performance or racing setups?

Yes — the adapter is machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum for a strong, lightweight connection and anodized black for corrosion resistance. The 1,500 PSI maximum working pressure covers most fuel-system uses, but always consider system-specific pressure peaks and safety margins.

• Material: 6061-T6 aluminum for strength and low weight.
• Finish: black anodized surface to resist corrosion and abrasion.
• Pressure rating: up to 1,500 PSI; check system peak pressures before use.

Which hoses and applications are compatible with this barb?

This barb is designed specifically for rubber fuel lines and push-lock applications; it is not intended for hard-line or braided hose ends that require crimped fittings. Typical uses include low-to-medium pressure fuel feed or return lines, vent plumbing, and temporary test rigs where quick hose changes are needed.

• Compatible hose: rubber fuel lines sized to fit a 3/4" barb.
• Not for: hard pipe, PTFE-lined or hose requiring crimped AN ends.
• Installation tip: use clamps for vibration-prone environments.

How easy is installation and what tools or steps are recommended?

Installation is straightforward: thread the 12AN male end into a matching AN female port using proper wrenching on AN flats, then push the rubber hose onto the 3/4" barb and secure with a clamp. Hand-tighten initially, then torque the AN thread to a light snug using a non-marring wrench; avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage.

• Tools: AN wrenches or adjustable wrench with protection on flats.
• Sealing: optional thread sealant is generally unnecessary on AN flare joints; use clamps on the barb side.
• Best practice: inspect for leaks at startup and after heat cycles.

Who is this for? This 2-pack from EVIL ENERGY is aimed at DIY mechanics, track-day racers, and custom fabricators who need compact 90° transitions between standard 12AN fittings and rubber push-on fuel hose. If you require a lightweight, corrosion-resistant angled adapter for fuel plumbing or quick-change testing where flexibility and a secure barb are priorities, these fittings offer a practical and cost-effective solution. Note: they are intended for rubber hoses only — choose crimped AN ends for braided or high-vibration permanent installations.
